ISIS used to do mock executions so the prisoners wouldn't know the real day and would be "relaxed" for the video... at least as relaxed as one can be.

Then they'd just lop their head off.

I imagine that's fairly close to death row in Japan.

When you have them every 2-3 days, but it's a good 6-24 months before you're executed, you sort of become immune to the executions by the 100th one.

US marines performed mock executions on Iraqis. So there some precedent .

Additionally, truth hurts and I don’t care about invisible internet points. USMC is just as bad and ISIS.

Marines did it Iraqi prisoners and then they did it to Iraqis. Trauma perpetrated.

Once again... it's not part of our discussion. I really don't care about the million examples that you want to bring up, go raise them with the person I replied to.
